Quintessa Half 2018

A beautiful Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant wine, the 2018 vintage is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc, 2% Carménère and 1% Petit Verdot aged for 20 months in 62% new French oak barrels. With intense aromas of cassis, black cherry, and raspberry intermingled with savoury notes of sage and thyme; the 2018 Quintessa continues to unfold as notes of dark chocolate, graphite and fresh tobacco mingle with the fresh fruit. Precise and dense, the wine shows supple tannin that play with flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, and crushed rocks. Perfect balance of fresh acidity followed by bright fruit and minerality at the finish that portends unparalleled aging potential. Sold in approachable half bottle format.
